Still doin’ it.
It looks like the swans weathered the storm. I strongly suspect that some minor damage was done to the nest, but it looks like they’ve tidied it up in the interim so I can’t be sure. I also wasn’t able to check on the eggs — but I didn’t see any scrambled on the sidewalk.
So the unofficial winner is A. “Harry” Medved whose faith in humanity has earned him all 200 minutes of Apocalypse Now: Redux. It’s a great family movie and, according to some, one of those films you just have to see.
Thanks to everyone for playing!

the thick branches where the male(?) stands look a bit different to me.
Congrats to the winner!
And especially congrats to the swans!
I RULE! Cower* before my grizzled* ursine* mightiness!
Oh, yeah, and I’m happy to hear that the fuzzy little zygotic* cygnets** are okay.

Congrats, Mr A. Bear! Time for me to be putting on some Swans tunes, or, more soothingly, Mazzy Star’s ‘Among My Swan’…
Glad to have lost… but is that plastic glasses what I see next to the nest?
I’m so glad A.Medved won!!! I thought about the swans last night and hoped that they would make it.
Are these swans not protected? When we were at Bled we had a good laugh at the signs warning us not to “interfere” with the swans. I wouldn’t dare, especially if they are anything like Canada Geese! Bite-y critters, those.
I’m also very pleased the swans made it despite being the victim on two occasions of vicious and totally unprovoked attacks by a swan while swimming in Lake Bled. The incidents were two years apart but I’m convinced it was the same swan.
Anyway, in any Super Deathmatch contest of Swan v Student my money would be on the swan every time
Hmm. I think I was robbed!! ;P Maybe we should investigate to see if the swans were bribed somehow to clean up the “minor” damage before Michael arrived.
Darnit, don’t these swans know to hold off on cleaning up until later in the day.
All joking aside, glad Medved won.
So i think that everything gone well!!!
Congrats to A.Harry Medved! I was never so glad to be wrong!
Great News!
